Ivo of Kermartin was a parish priest in the Middle Ages who eventually became the patron saint of abandoned children and attorneys. At Ivo Review we are decidedly not a religious journal, but the idea of lifting the voices of those who need justice, those who have been abandoned, and of telling the stories that need to be told resonates with us in a very real way. 

Ivo Review will be published quaterly, and in the future hopes to establish contests and publish anthologies and digital chapbooks. We look forward to reading your work and building a community.
